Each company will retain its own name for now

The companies will be housed in Gotham’s offices on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. Wednesday’s announcement contained no mention of what the new joint venture will be called so each company will retain its own identity for the immediate future.

The announcement was made by Gotham CEO Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and PELA partners Marsha McManus, Larry Taube and Liz Robinson. Gotham’s Lindsay Williams and Lee Stollman have been tapped to “manage” the relationship.

“The intersection between PELA’s impressive talent representation capabilities and Gotham’s broad expertise across the animation, film and television worlds will expand opportunities for all our clients,” said Goldsmith-Vein.
